1 post
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Electra: A Tragedy in One Act | Hugo von Hofmannsthal
post image

Stefan Zweig's autobiography led me to poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal's play Electra, which I borrowed from the library and started reading last night. It was turned into an opera by Strauss. I am listening to it on deezer, but it's not grabbing me so far. Any tips or info to help ease me into it? A passage to look forward to? A recording that's less strident than the one I am listening to? I'm OK with modernist music, so that's not it 😊

Dilara @Lunakay Belatedly adding the hashtag #classicschallenge2025 for this classic play!
Looking forward to this last quarter's challenge!
